So I bought -what I believe- is this Android Head Unit over a month back (Apparently I can't post links yet, but if you search Amazon for "Car Stereo Touch Screen Bluetooth GPS DVD Double Din In Dash Sat Navigation Vehicle Head Unit for VW Volkswagen Jetta Golf Passat Tiguan T5 VW Skoda Seat Hands Free Call Free Map Backup Camera" the result is the item that I got. ) It worked fine once I got it installed, then about a week ago it started having issues (Screen would freeze, buttons unresponsive, and would stay like this until car had been off for some time. Still switched to backup camera on reverse.) I tried to go into settings and do a factory reset to see if that would fix the issue, but now it's stuck with a black screen and the word "Erasing". It still seems to be doing something because overnight the next time I come out the screen is on and it says, "Recovery 7.1.1 :failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)" I've tried several different button pressing methods to try and get to the recovery screen, but it just keeps coming back to the "Erasing" screen regardless of whether I use the Reset button or the Power button (held). I have a couple pictures of settings from the "Droid Info" app (because I couldn't find anything helpful in the settings themselves) that I took before I started having problems with it. So I'm looking for some help regarding getting it into recovery and/or finding out what I'm doing wrong.
Brand is confusing, roundabout on Amazon I found "Malanzs", but it looks exactly like and has the same Manufacturer # as the TMOTEC brand (DS02P051S01C0) and a lot of the pictures of the Malanzs one look like they photoshopped them from the TMOTEC pictures.
One of the things I was trying to find on my pictures but I don't have is the MCU version (apparently this is important for where I will get the most help with my post)
Any help is appreciated, thanks for your time.
I can't help get it working (it sounds defective), personally I'd return it to Amazon quick !

Hi, I have an Android head unit running Android 9 powered by a PX6 chip. It's 4GB/64GB.
The unit started bootlooping some time ago (just stuck at the Android loading screen) and the seller have not been very helpful and wants me to buy a new motherboard for the unit.
Long story short, while waiting for Aliexpress to take responsibility and make the seller uphold the warranty they sell the unit with I was wondering if there is anything I can do myself?
The unit is sealed and I can't reallyd figure out how to get to recovery or anything. Only thing the seller told me to try was using a pin to press the reset button 10 times repeatedly. This had no effect other than the unit restarting however.
Any ideas how to debug such a unit? I don't see any SD cards or similar, unless it is located within the unit shell itself?
There are some USB ports, but I don't have a male to male cable so I haven't tried plugging it into a PC with ADB/fastboot yet...
Hi all,
I got a problem with my Navifly N600Plus Android Head unit in my car. It was only showing colorful stripes after working ok for several weeks.
So the Navifly Shop send out an swap display. Unfortunately it's only the display and I have to swap it myself.
Today, I tried everything to open up the head unit and unmount the display without any success.
I found the video below but no chance to get a spudger (already broke two) between display and head unit.
Do you have any helpful hint how to open the unit and unmount the display?
Attaches are some pictures.
Heyyyy guys, so I've got a Dasaita MAX10/PX6 android head unit for my corolla. Bought new in December of 2020. I've never updated it or anything, always ran totally fine. About 2 weeks ago it totally shut off while I was driving.
I've confirmed all of the fuses, including the fuse in the unit are fine. I am also getting ground and 12-14.8v at the harness on constant and accessory. When I did finally pull the unit out of the car I noticed that the ground was no longer attached, but not sure If I yanked it out from where it was when I pulled the radio OR if it came loose and that is what caused it to shut off; either way re-grounding it, same deal. It won't boot up.
I can get the button lights on the screen to light up, and the blink/flash when I hold the RST button, but it never shows anything on the screen. I also picked up another unit (not a Dasaita, just a random cheapo that happened to have the same screen) and hooked that up just in case my screen died. But that does the same thing. Also plugging a monitor into the HDMI out on the unit shows No Signal on the monitor.
I made a wall outlet plug for it to speed up testing since working in my car was a PITA. Same issue outside of the car plugged into a power supply. I can get it to sort of attempt to reset but nothing appears on screen.
I then took the whole thing apart and disconnected all of the ribbon cables and removed the coreboard and reattached everything - same results.
Soooo I'm not sure if my coreboard is totally shot, or if its worth attempting to recover the SOM with a custom cable.
I also stumbled into this: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805119609170.html?spm=a2g0n.productlist.0.0.3b00178e1LqUWJ&browser_id=276e8aff87cc4dabb30f5c59f2bdc799&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=zetwhgerlccauysr1885ee4fb90185a9d285ecd0a1&gclid=&[email protected][email protected]!12000032566253924!sea!US!0&algo_pvid=d5ec49b7-856f-4398-90ea-6e1e11b2ee01
^^This appears to be a replacement board, will popping this in fix my issue? (if it is the board) or are there additional caveats like drivers/firmware that I would still need to flash this with?
I have been loosely in touch with Dasaita, but I think due to the language barrier and time zone differences it has been a struggle, waiting a day+ for them to suggest something that I have already tried :/
Would love to hear from someone that knows what they are talking about! This is my first rodeo, prior to this though the unit ran fantastically - I had a handful of app crashes in the 2.5 years I've owned it, but simply restarting those apps worked right away. So I'm totally stumped for now.
Thanks guys!
PS: I'm also confused by the Dasaita megathread for firmware updates. They list the MAX10/PX6 needing one firmware but then they list the HCT-RK3399 PX6 needing a different one. My unit was sold to me as a MAX10/PX6 but my board (attached images) shows HCT-RK3399 So in the event that I am able to flash it, I'm not sure which I should be flashing to it.
I have also tried taking both of those update zips from the Dasaita megathread and putting on an SD Card formatted in Fat32 and putting into the units SD Card slot, but same results.
Suggest cut losses and replace with UIS7862 FYT based unit or a genuine AA unit.
Hello all!
Brand new here and desperately looking for answers.
I just purchased a used 2019 Ford Fusion with an aftermarket head unit. Below are the details.
Tesla style PX6 SIX-CORE 13.6" VERTICAL SCREEN ANDROID 9 FAST BOOT
While I was impressed at first I’m having issues with the screen turning black but everything is still functioning properly. I’ve went through all the settings and turned off any sleep settings or anything that may have pointed to the screen shutting off. The only solution right now is pressing the reset button on the front which is difficult to do while driving because I have to insert a paper clip to reset it. It’s extremely inconvenient as it literally disables access to everything including all my heat/AC settings.
I’ve contacted Phoenix Automotive directly but they are of zero help unless I provide an order number.
Really in a pinch here as I use this vehicle to Uber with and it’s definitely preventing me from doing my job.
Any help or direction would be appreciated more than I could express!
Thanks so much in advance!

Randomly? After an amount of time? While running specific app?
Outside of that it could be a heat issue, or a loose cable connection.
Have you "opened" car console to inspect the back side of the head unit?
The more info you give the better

Yes, pretty randomly at this point with no specific amount of time. I tried narrowing it down to certain apps but it still does it with my phone disconnected and no apps running.
I did however notice that the unit seems to be pretty warm towards the top which coincidentally is right below vents. Any solutions you can think of for this?
I haven’t taken it apart yet as I just picked up this vehicle last week. I’ll be ordering the tools to access the unit.
I can’t find any documentation on this unit at all and that’s the most frustrating part.

You're welcome. Yes in general the info only these units is very sparse...
So the black screens are happening while using Carlink/Android Auto connection?
Connected by usb?
Maybe a bad usb connection to phone?

It’s baffling to me that a manufacturer would not provide support unless you provide an order number.
The black screen has happened when absolutely nothing was connected, even Bluetooth.
I’ve contemplated returning to the factory unit but at this point it would be challenging to find all the parts.
I love the unit, when it’s working. It’s just so inconvenient because I lose access to all my controls.
Again, everything continues to work when it goes to the black screen so it’s not that the unit is completely shutting down.

Might want to try a factory reset...
And yes, the support across the board from manufacturers is basically nil.

I’ve done a “restore factory settings” but haven’t figured out how to do a full reset.

Support costs money.
None of these head unit sellers will spend any time (and therefore money) helping you unless you are their customer.
Your order number also confirms the purchase date which gives them the out of warranty date.
Just because you have 1 of their units does not make you their customer. They are sold worldwide by resellers and support would have to come from them.
It isn't unique to head units or to Chinese sellers. If I buy something and it breaks then I take it to the shop I bought it from.
As to your issue, if everything is working perfectly when the screen goes black then I would remove my unit, open it up carefully and I would reconnect the screen ribbon cable ensuring it is connected properly.

Makes sense. I actually didn’t realize there were so many resellers of these head units. It was a mistake on my part to assume Phoenix Automotive was the only company who sold them. After doing some research I realized the party that I bought the car from could have purchased this head unit anywhere…
Thank you for the suggestion! I didn’t want to pull the unit out but it looks like this is my only option.
